I thought I’d share a few tips with you that might come in handy on your wedding day.

1. Keep some lip gloss nearby at all times during the reception. A bridesmaid or your new husband will gladly carry it for you.

2. Don’t wear socks when you’re getting ready. When filming you putting your shoes on, it’s not nice to see marks. Same thing applies to wearing bras, don’t wear one if you have a strapless dress, it can take ages before strap marks disappear.

3. Cut the straps to hang your dress on a hanger out of your dress before you put it on. These straps have a tendency to creep up and don’t look great in photographs or on film.

4. Buy some foot spray and make sure someone takes it along for you on your wedding day. You’ll be standing a lot in those pretty wedding shoes and your feet will get tired. They will, however, feel much better after you’ve applied some foot spray.

5. As absurd as it may sound: get some safety pins! They come in handy more often than you’d think. But don’t worry, we buy a supply of safety pins every year to hand out at weddings in case you’d forget or can’t find them.
